As if Richard Mosse’s documentary photo series “Infra” wasn’t amazing enough, he now has a new film premiering called “The Enclave”. Both of these projects are based on documenting the seamlessly endless state of war in the Congo using Kodak Aerochrome Infrared film, which is an out of production military grade infrared film that was used for reconaissance. “Infra” is visually stunning to look at and I can only hope for a chance to view “The Enclave” in person sometime in the future. Simply amazing!

Jeff Klugiewicz’s last name might be difficult to spell, but he sure ain’t difficult to watch ride. Jeff recently built up a new Mankind and put it through its paces, as video evidence will prove.

Shout out to Jeff and Grant Castelluzzo for hooking us up with this.

Enjoy!

Vans California Collection Fall 2013: Checker Pack

The Vans California Collection instills the spirit of Americana and the laidback beach lifestyle into our assortment of Classic Vans styles with a sophisticated mix of materials and premier palette of prints. Fall 2013 continues this tradition with a trio of new, vintage-inspired Authentics in the Checker pack. The renowned checkerboard motif progresses from our iconic Slip-On onto three colorways of the celebrated low-top, lace-up. The Authentic CA resurfaces this season in Mango/White, True Blue/Red and Waterfall/White washed canvas varieties. Square-cut leather laces, white eyelets and tonal binding complete each pair for delivery this June at select California Collection retailers.

There are a select few riders that I can watch full on park edits of, and Dan Foley is one of them! He makes everything look so effortless and steezy!!!

FUCK YEAH! New Albion features interview AND cover art by my old landlord Taj Mihelich. Didn’t know the cover was happening, great surprise.

Here’s what else you can find in the issue:

Editorial: This Too Will Pass
Departure: Jason Phelan and his homage to Mike Escamilla
How To: Steal A Bike
Freecoasters: Progress or fleeting fad?
Colts – Dale Armstrong
Colts – Troy Merkle
Holding The Room – Alex ‘Fathead’ Barton-Holmes
Snakes & Ladders – Shawn Mcintosh
Taj Mihelich – “You can’t win BMX”
The Rise & Fall of BACO
The 100th Monkey

The Albion is available for FREE in all good BMX shops in the UK, and available outside the UK by subscription.

BKSTREETART is one of my favorite accounts to follow on the ‘ol Instagram. The name says it all; street art in Brooklyn (and surrounding areas sometimes). Give them a FOLLOW if you’re into that sort of thing.

Seeing as premiere info for the Deadline video has surfaced, I don’t see a better reason to repost the trailer for it. I love this trailer and can not wait to see the video.

Disregard that “Fall 2012″ stuff.

Over the years, we’ve gotten our hands on some great artists and accumulated some interesting Q&A’s. I am a fan of all these dudes, which is why I reached out to them in the first place. These guys are still doing great stuff and you should recognize some of these names by now if you follow the art world. If not, click below to check out the interviews. They are are all worth revisiting.
